  What does everyone think about the new VALORANT UI?? The home screen is basically overwatch copied but I do really like the victory and defeat screen actually. It’s quite nice. I am soo excited for the new Indian agent, he is actually broken though.

  Playing Overwatch has reminded me that I have rage issues when it comes to games like this, I always type GGWP in the end though because I know I'll get over my baby rage. Any who, people need to learn to play the objective in objective based games.

  @BlizzardCS I'm curious as to who broke your server settings. Overwatch 1 250ms ping = fine. Overwatch 2 250ms ping = everyone downed 10 Red Bulls and gained the ability blink through walls. Where are your thresholds at, why is this an issue? Why are EU servers stuffed atm for everyone?

  @stefayylmao1 It's not a glitch all emotes are still so when doing a floating emote it locks the animation in place it's intentional lol it's been like that since Overwatch 1

  Blizzard gonna make every Overwatch sequel have one less slot per team until there's not enough room for all the problems they created and call it balanced.

  overwatch 2 is pretty cool, shame they deem the "black screen" when tabbing out a "non priority" in terms of issues. super ******* annoying and wasn't present in the original

  @Masterlorddd I really do like the pay to play but no micro transactions model like Fall Guys had, the problem is that most online game back in the day were pay to play and filled with micro transactions like Overwatch 1 or Rocket League

  @mustardman66 @Dead_MK @GetQuakedOn not again 😭 OVERWATCH YOU DONT MAKE IT FEEL DISTINCT BY NOT FIXING BROKEN STUFF YOU ******* BANNANAS. How did they spend 3 years and not learn why their game failed.

  I’m also not saying that I approve of the removal of aim assist I think it’s stupid, but this problem didn’t just come around with overwatch 2

  look at every meta in overwatch 1 that took so long to patch out tensa made a comp that was so broken the dev team didn’t know how to fix it so they had to introduce role queue after attempting to nerf every character in goats patch after patch

  Bro Overwatch FIX YOUR GAME I’m getting booted for getting achievements in comp and it’s counting against me like I’m purpose leaving the game

  I’ve noticed too. Every time I receive an achievement on the Xbox when playing overwatch I get a disconnect. It’s getting very annoying, please fix that @PlayOverwatch I’m not trying to get banned on competitive cuss your game disconnects me

  every patch blizzard has done in overwatch one leading up to overwatch 2 before they stopped completely doing anything for overwatch 1 was just a band aid fix to simple solutions

  @Aussie_BB There is a lot of talk about games (Activision with MW2 and Overwatch 2) requiring a phone number connected to a plan on a reputable service provider to verify your account. Will you be a part of this list of approved providers?

  @syrr3al @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch They had years to prepare for this launch. YEARS! And they STILL completely screwed of up! There are some who STILL cannot even login & we’re a week & a half after launch! They even broke things that worked fine in #Overwatch for years! It’s a joke!

  Overwatch needs to fix bugs before they tune up characters LMAO

  Pendorcho (@PibeDinamita) reported 37 minutes ago

  @SamitoFPS The devs said they were moving away from hard counters in Overwatch 2, and instantly released Kiriko, who hard counters Ana and Junkerqueen (and even Reinhardt). Yet, some people don't see a problem with that. New game, same things that shouldn't be discussed being discussed 🤡.

  @Respawn @PlayApex fix audio + give us 120 fps + better servers + overwatch 2 is better

  @holygod00604541 @Clash_Addictz @fullsquadgaming Apparently overwatch decided even as less as it is it isn't worth entertaining people over it. COD should take a page from this and fix it.

  @PlayOverwatch I had Overwatch 1 and when I entered Overwatch 2 I didn’t get anything such as the new champions as was stated. So is this lies or is the game broken?

  @OverwatchEU Please bring back player levels, being on fire, endgame stats voting, fix account stats not updating etc. Theres no need to remove things just so the game seems less like overwatch and more like a different game lmao
